For me she has been the better artist than Caballe! Why? because Caballe killed her voice with to heavy stuff - only able to sing the high notes after that in pianissimo - without attack! Only to say I am a Spinto what she wasnt! And La des los Angeles sung evry time good and intelligent never with to much ideas of beeing more dramatic! A REAL ARTIST and GREAT SOPRANO! Divine!

Thanks for posting this. She still had a beautiful sound, even in her 70th year. Beautiful cello work, too. Five stars, of course!

Lluis Claret is amazing....wish we had more videos of him in here!

Beautiful

Absolutely.

Lluis Claret , La Classe! An example of soloist and great great teacher.

extraordinaire!!!quel bonheur de pouvoir savourer autant de beauté. MERCI

On the three occasion I heard her in recital/concert in Scotland,I didn't have the courage to go backstage.I'm told she was charming and welcoming backstage. This piece was played on a solo cello at her funeral, as the congregation stood in respect. A musician to the tips of her toes.
